Hi there! I am so glad you are here. Take a moment. Yes, right now, take a deep breath. I’ll be here. Exhale. Be proud of yourself. Today, you showed up. You are here and you are willing to consider taking the next step. Well done!
I believe, life is full of emotion. It makes us laugh and cry… sometimes both in the same moment. It can be hard as we journey through it to see the forest for the trees… to see beauty instead of pain. Wherever you are along your journey you do not have to travel alone.
My name is Stephanie Wideman. I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Missouri. I have 20 years of experience coming alongside others, from children to older adults, on their journey as a guide. You will always lead, because we are going where you want to go.
Together we can forge a path of perspective and self awareness; replacing lies with truth and be able to take in all of the beauty of the journey along the way.
Each person's destination and goals are unique. My guidebook (clinical approach techniques) is diverse. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves, because I believe you get out of therapy what you put into it. I am a Christian and draw my clinical approaches heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (known as CBT) aligned with the Biblical principles of grace, love, and mercy. At all times, as your guide it is important to me that you feel safe, respected, heard, encouraged, empowered, and challenged. Yes, we can do hard things.
Now, you did not come this far to only come this far. Grab your favorite mug and find a place of solace. Let’s journey through together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s incredibly understanding and seems so approachable. Since I started working with Stephanie I feel like I have a place to go when I need to talk. She offers tremendous insights and worksheets that help me build new habits. She’s by far one of the best therapist I worked with.

Extremely helpful, personable, down to earth. Great person to talk to, no awkwardness, just wants to help you in whatever you’re going through or setting/achieving your goals!
Stephanie is not only an excellent professional but also a kind and supportive human being. She truly understood me and was able to provide exercises to work on myself that actually worked! In the short period of time we worked together, I regained trust in myself and have a more optimistic outlook on life. Thank you, Stephanie!
She has been professional and timely. Awesome with ways to deal with whatever is bothering you. It's been an overall great experience.
Stephanie has an amazing calmness to her which draws you in and helps you feel supported through life's challenges. She has supported me and guided me the past few months as we worked together and I am so thankful to have had her as my therapist. Her skills in CBT really helped me and she is both personable and professional which makes her so easy to talk to.
